| Technical purpose of product or process | Evergel aerogel mat is an excellent insulating material that performs its primary function - thermal insulation - very well, and also provides many additional benefits thanks to its unique characteristics. It is a ductile material that is easy to form and cut into the right shapes, so it is very suitable for insulating thermal bridges, hard-to-reach surfaces and buildings where the use of thicker insulation is limited for architectural reasons. The Evergel aerogel mat offered by Evertec has very good thermal insulation properties with a thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.0175 W/mK. It is also resistant to high temperatures and has European flammability class A2-s1,d0, which means that it is a non-flammable material, does not produce dangerous smoke or spread fire, and is also a fire insulation. It is an extremely durable material that retains its properties for many years. It is completely hydrophobic, resistant to external agents and chemical and biological corrosion, and at the same time breathable and vapour-permeable. It ensures that moisture dries out of the masonry and prevents corrosion. The mat does not deteriorate under pressure. Thanks to its porous and open structure, Evergel mat is an excellent acoustic insulation. The material adheres tightly to the building structure, eliminating any gaps through which noise can pass. Evergel matting is also space-saving - the low thickness of the insulation and high packing density reduces transport and storage costs compared to rigid, moulded materials. Aerogel matting can be used in many industries such as: - industry - mainly in the heating sector. It is excellent for high-temperature insulation of pipelines, furnaces, fireplaces and wherever traditional insulation cannot be used due to its thickness. It is also used in the fuel industry - for insulating fuel tanks, pipelines, road tankers and other equipment exposed to high temperatures. - transport - for insulating ships, rolling stock, tankers, caravans, yachts. They ensure minimal heat loss, space saving and acoustic comfort. - construction - they are used due to their low thickness and low thermal conductivity coefficient. They insulate thermal bridges very well and are also worth using to insulate window sills, balconies, window and door frames. - manufacture of tourist equipment and clothing - tents, sleeping bags, thermoses, thermal bags. They can also be used for winter footwear and clothing, especially thermal and military clothing. They provide resistance to extreme temperature conditions and moisture. This study covers Evergel aerogel mats produced in the form of rolls and strips with a thickness of 11 mm and a density of 173 kg/m3. Standard mats are supplied to customers in the form of rolls with the following dimensions: - width: 150 cm, - length: 24–26 m, - diameter: 62 cm, - weight: 80 kg, - m2 per roll: 36-39. |
| General comment on data set | The data for the LCA calculation of modules A1-A4 came from verified LCI inventory data from the plant. In accordance with Annex E of EN 15804 + A2, a data quality assessment was carried out. For technical representativeness, processes with a quality level of 'very good' represent 99% of the values for the climate change indicators. For geographical and temporal representativeness, a process evaluation level of "very good" was obtained. The allocation in this study was made in accordance with the ITB PCR A guidelines. The production and storage of the products covered in this declaration take place at the production plant in China. Input data were collected for the entire plant. Allocation to a single, representative product was made on the basis of product weight. All impacts from raw material extraction are allocated in module A1. The production is based on raw and recycled materials. 65% of the glass fibre is recycled, the remaining 35% is raw glass. Module A2 includes the transport of raw materials to the production facility. Energy, fuel, waste and direct emissions for the entire production process were inventoried and included in module A3. 100% of input materials and 100% of energy, gas, fuel and waters consumption were inventoried at the production plant in China. All relevant parameters from the collected production data are included in the assessment, i.e. all materials used in production, electricity, gas and fuel consumption. direct production waste and emissions from production processes. |
